Top Cairo Walking Tours - page 2

We spend a beautiful day with Ehab. He took time to explain us all the stories about the Pyramids, but also leave us quite free to enjoy the view near all the different spots. 15 minutes Camel walk were enough, and the quad also was nice. Just one thing, the quad company doesn't like women to drive.. The four girls in the group had to have a chaperone on the front luggage rack. He didn't always let them drive the whole way, which is a bit of a shame. Except this, the day was great, and once again, the guide was really perfect !

This was the absolute best tour I've ever taken! Karim and Sheddi were the absolute gentleman and they are both very knowledgeable! Spending the day with them felt like spending the day with family! I look forward to touring with them again. The tour was fun, we learned alot, the atv ride was very nostalgic. Loved the camel ride. The food was amazing, we found a few awesome gems during our shopping experience. We also enjoyed the dinner cruise!

A really special experience that stays with me months after I returned from the visit to Saqqara. The driver and guide I was lucky enough to travel with, Mr. Hisham, was very knowledgeable and a great driver. He was helpful, positive and friendly from the first meeting to the end of the trip. I would highly recommend him to other visitors for a comfortable and interesting trip to the Egyptian countryside. As a female solo traveler he also made me feel very safe something that was valuable to me. Overall a great experience!

Overall, we were satisfied with the excursion. We were picked up from the hotel at 3:30 AM and the driver was punctual. However, until the very last moment we did not know who would pick us up or what vehicle it would be, despite asking several times — including shortly before 3:30 AM. The communication definitely needs improvement. In Luxor, the driver welcomed us with a sign from Emo Tours Egypt. We were taken to all the scheduled places, but overall there was not enough time to truly enjoy each site. At the restaurant, we ate the food not because it was tasty, but because we were hungry. I would honestly prefer the tour to cost €615 instead of €600, but to include a genuinely good restaurant with quality food. The waiter greeted us wearing an extremely dirty shirt, stained with food and drinks, which made a very poor impression. The only thing that was actually good was the baklava. At the alabaster souvenir shop, we were asked $25 for a small candle holder. We did not buy anything there. Later, we bought the same items at Khan el-Khalili in Cairo for $5 each. We are truly grateful to the driver, Hossam Al-Aqsar — a very kind and professional person — and to the Egyptologist/tour guide Mohammed El Tahibe, who explained everything in great detail. Tip for travelers: buy your own water (it is cheap, around 10 EGP) and bring it with you. The three tombs in the Valley of the Kings are more than sufficient; the Tomb of Tutankhamun is very small and not worth it, as all artifacts are now in the Grand Egyptian Museum.

By joining this tour, I was able to experience the trial and error of reaching the Great Pyramids of Giza. I chose the driver-only plan, and my driver, Mr. Abdullah, was very kind and humorous and we had a great time .He even helped me purchase my ticket at the rickety ticket office. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

While it was a long travel day, the tour company was very accommodating to my flight delay in the morning and the driver and guide (Reem) were fantastic and very knowledgeable. I especially appreciated having a female tour guide with a lot of interesting insides into the local culture.

Bishoy was our tour guide for this trip. He was very knowledgeable, kind and did what we wanted to do vs what the tour stated. He took us to a restaurant we would prefer rather than what the tour had listed and we really enjoyed that. We went to different shops perfumery, spices and then to Khan E Khalil Market. Definitely recommend Bishoy as he demeaned was very sophisticated and respectful unlike the other 4 tour guides we faced!

Our tour guide Ahmed was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The driver Sayed bravely and safely piloted us through the crazy Cairo traffic. I think the highlight of the trip was the visit to the two mosques in the citadel, along with the friendly discussion with Ahmed about the cultural and religious beliefs and practices. A wonderful learning experience. As expected, the Egyptian museum was fascinating, made even better with Ahmed’s insightful explanation of what we were seeing. The Khan el-Khalili Bazaar was interesting, but pretty much full of the Chinese mass-produced trinkets you can find at any tourist spot. The highlight here was enjoying a Turkish coffee break with Ahmad and watching the crowds go by.
